Good morning, San Diego. I’m Morgan Riley bringing you the word on the streets of San Diego, where history meets the coast and every story has a neighbor’s face.

Our top story centers on a community in mourning after a small plane crashed last week in the Murphy Canyon neighborhood. Authorities have now identified additional victims from the tragic accident, which claimed several lives and left a lasting impact on residents. The investigation is ongoing as officials work to determine the cause, and neighbors have been honoring the memories of those lost with a growing memorial near the crash site. It’s moments like this that remind us how deeply connected we are as San Diegans, sharing both sorrow and support as a city together.

Switching gears, the Rosecrans homeless shelter, a vital resource for 136 people grappling with mental illness, will close its doors in the coming days after a funding dispute between the county and the city. Advocates and residents are worried about the fate of these individuals, with many nonprofit groups now rushing to find alternative housing or services. Meanwhile, the Midway shelter faces a similar situation, raising wider questions about how San Diego will respond to the ongoing homelessness crisis. City leaders say they’re exploring solutions, but for now, uncertainty looms for these vulnerable neighbors.

For a bit of inspiration, let’s shine a light on Max Lewandowski, who was just welcomed as Audit Partner at RJI CPAs. With over 13 years of experience across sectors like life sciences and manufacturing, Max’s arrival signals more economic expertise here at home—right in the heart of our city’s thriving business community. It’s professionals like Max who help keep San Diego’s economic engine running smoothly, even through times of change.

Word on the streets of San Diego: everyone’s talking about unpredictable weather.

Don’t miss the Malibu Barbie Café pop-up and roller rink opening downtown, a playful flash from the past that’s sure to delight fans of all ages.
